IndieFlix CEO Scilla Andreen will join a film industry for The Conversation: a conference on social marketing, new media and storytelling at Columbia University on March 27. Columbia U industry executives will join filmmakers and media representatives and discuss their thoughts on the current industry and predictions for the future.
The Conversation will directly focus on:
- How social media tools can help aggregate audiences for a project
- How to craft a digital distribution strategy that works
- How storytellers are breaking out of the historic boundaries of “film” and telling stories using episodic video, apps, and games.
- How fans and followers online can be turned into supporters who show up at screenings, buy downloads and DVDs, and get engaged with causes.
- How one can develop a strategy that will sustain creative endeavors over the long term.
The conference objective is to cut through the BS and make some progress in untangling the new media web of social networking and seeing sale results. Participants can upload questions and request speakers to The Conversation Wiki.
This is an exciting time to talk about the future of film and sure to be an invaluable experience to anyone who can make it. Early-bird tickets are $75 if you register before Feb. 14. You can purchase them here.
